Ondo State Governor, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu, said on Saturday that his mother, Grace, who died on Thursday at the age of 90, was survived by seven children.
The governor said many of those who visited him wouldn’t have done so if his mother had passed away after he left office. He was speaking at his mother’s home in Ibadan when members of the expanded Ondo State Executive Council led by the Deputy Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, paid him a condolence visit in the Orogun neighborhood of Ibadan.

Akerodulu described his mother as “a highly favoured person and a product of bountiful grace of God who was survived by her seven children” and claimed she passed away 42 years after her husband.
In his words: “ My mum chose a very good time to leave and that is why you are all here. If she had waited till around 2026 or after that, many of you would not have come here.
“She lived a fulfilled and meaningful life. She is an epitome of the biblical virtuous woman and dutiful wife. My mother was a prayer warrior. What I will miss most in her is the intercessory prayers. Anytime you put a call through to her, the response was always, ‘let us pray’.
“I thank God for her life. Necessary arrangements are being made to move her body to Ondo State for a befitting burial.”
